The soldier is read as discipline, duty and readiness to defend what matters. Dream books also see in the figure the cost of following orders without question. Being a soldier yourself is read as feeling you must fight for something, or obey rules that are not your own. Marching soldiers are taken as order and shared purpose, or pressure to conform. A wounded or tired soldier is read as exhaustion after a long struggle. A soldier returning home is read as the end of a hard period. It can help to ask which battle you are fighting right now, and whether you chose it.
Does the traditional reading fit your dream, or did it mean something else to you?
My Cosmic Code has a private dream journal. Write a dream down and the app picks out the symbols in it, shows what dream books say about them and, over time, which words recur across your entries. The journal is stored on your device only.
